September Birchbox

I have said this a number of times, but I LOVE getting mail. Whether it is a letter from my best friend, birthday cards, or my Birchbox, I always get excited when I see something in the mail that isn't a bill. Those aren't fun, let's face it!

This month was stellar, and they gave me products that I will definitely use, and can’t wait to try out! Like always, once I use these products enough, I will definitely give you my thoughts. Here’s what was in my box this month!

Harvey Prince| Ageless Liquid Loofa: I am such a HUGE fan of Harvey Prince fragrances, that I am so excited to try this! It has a clean scent, and not overpowering at all!

Macadamia Professional| Healing Oil Spray: This is said to block UV rays, and be quick absorbing. I am excited to try this, because you know I love me some hair products!!

Mereadesso| All In One Moisturizer: This is an "anti-aging day/night cream, serum, eye cream, toner, and primer" in one. With all of that, it had better be good!!

Pixi| Shea Butter Lip Balm: I received the shade honey nectar. This feels moisturizing, and is tinted just enough to give me some sheen on my lips.

Temptu| S/B Highlighter in Champagne Shimmer: During the upcoming holiday season I can definitely see myself using this! This is a liquid shimmer that will give you an all over glow.

This was a nice treat!

The Birchbox find this month was from Chapstick! (Mandii likes it when she gets 2 lip products in her box!) Chapstick Hydration Lock Day and Night. This is a dual ended stick that has SPF 12 for the daytime and different types of "plant butters, antioxidants, and tamanu oil" to repair lips overnight.

Overall, this month was SPECTACULAR! If you haven't jumped on the Birchbox train yet, you can use my referral link to sign up!

What kinds of treats did you get in your Birchbox this month? I'd love to know! Go ahead, leave me a comment!

Cooking for a Crowd: Spaghetti Sauce

My family likes to save money when we have parties. One way to do so is to cook everything ourselves, instead of hiring a caterer. Today, I wanted to give you a recipe for spaghetti sauce that will feed a crowd. This recipe is best made in an 18 quart roast pan. We bought most of our sauces and tomato paste at Costco. Ingredients: 2 onions 3 cans diced tomatoes 2 #10 cans of tomato sauce 1 #10 can on spaghetti sauce 1 heaping tsp of garlic minced 2 (28 oz) cans of crushed tomatoes 4 (6 oz) cans of tomato paste 1 tsp sugar Onion and garlic salt, italian seasoning, parsley, oregano to taste 1 pound of each: ground meat, hot and sweet sausage Look at the deliciousness! In a skillet brown your meat and sausage in a little oil. Once browned place off to the side. Combine your onions, garlic, diced tomatoes, and crushed tomatoes. *Sweat your onions down first, then add the garlic. Then your tomatoes.* Open your tomato sauces and spaghetti sauces (w...

Simple Sugars Review

There is no doubt that this scenario has happened to you. You get some really expensive cream to put on your acne, rosacea, or eczema. You try it out, and find out you are allergic to it, or it makes your skin look horrible. Such was the case with Lani Lazzari. She has sensitive skin and has tried every commercial product on the market to help her eczema. Nothing worked, so she took matters in her own hands. She created Simple Sugars in December of 2005. If you're wondering where you might have heard Lani's name before, she appeared on ABC's Shark Tank! The scrubs are all natural and uses many different oils. There are no sulphates, artificial preservatives, parabens, colors, or scents. There are scrubs for your face, body, feet, and even some for the men in your life! You can find your perfect scrub on their website . I wish you could smell this! I bought some at a local retailer and I am impressed! I got the chocolate scent, and let me tell you, it smells AMAZING!...

It's Been Awhile...

Hi! Do you remember me and this little blog? I've been thinking about starting this blog back up again, and I am just going to jump in with both feet and go for it! In the past what, 4 years since the last post, I have learned a lot, and have a lot to share! So if you'll bear with me, I'd love to share some fun tips and tricks and recipes with you here on this little space on the internet. I will give you a little reintroduction of myself. I'm Mandii. I'm a small town girl full of random information. Sports facts, check. Fashion tips, oh yeah, I've got those a plenty! Recipes? You're speaking my language. I love all things faith, family, fashion, sports, and food related. Which is exactly what you will find on this space. I love to travel even though I don't do it nearly enough. I don't know if I am going to commit to a full 5 days on here yet. I'll play it by ear, and if you'll stick with me, I think we can do some great things here! I...
